Yesterday afternoon the members of the city council, with one or two exceptions, took a trip through the harbor on the tug Active to view the site asked for by the M.T. company officials on which to build their elevator. The company desires to erect its elevator beyond the long wharf at the foot of Queen street. It will extend out 320 feet from the end of the wharf. This will leave over 700 feet between the channel, as followed by keeping the range lights in line, and the outer end of the elevator. It was shown that the concession would not in any way interfere with craft passing through the Cataraqui bridge.

The offence was neglecting to report her arrival and clearance here on the 19th inst.
